FORD F350 6.4L Powerstroke issues // 3 trucks in 2020! What to do?

My dad bought an 08 F350 King ranch with the 6.4L when it was 3 years old with 60k. At 140k we had issues with the EGR filters and coolers. At first they tried to say the computer was bad. After getting it taken care of the truck didn’t miss a beat. Traded it in with 200k it spent most of its life towing trailers and equipment, it was a great truck for us.

[@jlj7081]

My kids got a used Ram and absolutely love it. It handles their 27’ trailer very well, and is SO comfortable. I pray you will be very satisfied with this necessary purchase. And SHAME on that extended warranty company.

I got a 6.0 we took a trip from Florida to South Dakota to Wyoming down through Utah Nevada and back between having lawn mower seals blown head gaskets crack pipes we put over $8,000 into the engine that was back in August of 2020 so far the truck has been running good but the extended warranty AutoNation Ford sold me did not cover it because they said the truck was modified had to pay out of my own pocket

[@Huckleberry2A]

Read my story in the comments it's a true story sad to say. These are a 150,000 mile disposable truck if you are lucky to get 150,000 miles then you beat the odds.

@@jimmysturdevant9843 No it's a poor design motor dumping diesel in the seven and eight cylinder for the exhaust filter burn washes the oil off the cylinders gets past the rings gets into the oil dilutes the oil unless you change the oil really often which I did every 3000 miles. You might get the mileage you're talking about if you were just going after groceries but it's a truck and I used it as a truck and I towed with it and it died both of them. And a further show that it was a poor design they changed it.

[@NursingOurTravelBug]

Man, talk about stressful. I were so sorry you had to go through all that mess! Thank God you had the funds to get into a different vehicle & that you got a good deal the second time around. Praying this truck treat you well.

[@popapoco]

Ya those engines are so complicated and they have so many things to go wrong with them . Ours blew both turbos had lots of overheating issues then stopped regening so the cat blocked up near solid so I installed a tune into it and ran great after that but kept throwing codes , still ran fine just threw codes so you never knew if it was going to break . Paid 57000 had it for a year put tons of money into it and sold it at the end of a year to a mechanic for $10000 who knew all the issues and was going to install a different engine. Bought another Ford F-350 but with the 6.7 litre engine had it for 5 years and not ONE issue. Now we just bought our last truck before retirement a 2020 F350 with the 6.7 and hoping for the best lol , good luck in your travels, new subscriber.

Most states have insurance regulators agencies. If you are getting jerked around check with your state to see if you can file a claim and have your state office apply pressure to the insurance company.

[@lisastayman6392]

So sorry to hear you're going thru all your truck problems. You really don't have to follow our same troubles. Yeah, we had the land deal prob and the truck problem!! We blew a boot in southern Virginia! Had it fixed and developed similar prob as you (we had the 6.0). We had a shipment of chicken houses on the gooseneck 32' trailer and no truck. Went to used truck dealer on Sat and drove off with a huge Dodge truck payment on Monday. Took our first trip all the way to Colorado Springs, thankfully the new truck turned out to be reliable. Praying y'all have good travels from your new truck.

[@KagenFishing]

hope you guys enjoy the new truck. That’s an absolute nightmare of what you guys had to go through I am a recently new subscriber. I personally am a staff nurse and recently put in my notice of resignation to start traveling. The wife is a teacher and is in contract for the rest of this school year but hopefully we can start traveling together once the summer starts. We don’t have any kids yet just a dog. I wanted to let you know your informative videos about travel nursing helped me feel more comfortable about making the decision to start traveling. I hope you all have trouble free amazing adventures to come!

It's nice to see the things that you guys go through because when I'm working, I thought about what my other party was doing at home. I cant believe you guys went through this whole truck ordeal and with kids and a dog! I have a nissan altima and holy cow break downs and car troubles were my biggest concern. Luckily, I havent had too many problems where I'd have to wait to get my car fixed....but I'm glad that you guys sorted it all out! :)

[@detroitgarage9430]

Nice, my 6.4 fell out and a Detroit 4-53T replaced it. Never been happier.:)

[@davidkaye2584]

I had a 2010 f250 KR with the 6.4. Took off the DPF and the EGR coolers and replaced the up pipes with stainless. Kept the stock tune on it. Never abused it and never had any troubles. People run into trouble in 2 ways. Either they don’t delete everything and the emissions will ruin the motor or , they do delete them, put a super hot tune on it and double the horse power and expect the factory internals to hold up. I never had any troubles but the thought of injector replacement, turbo replacement etc just worried me to much. Traded it on a f350 cc long box 4x4 single rear wheel with the 6.2 gas and have never looked back. The new diesels with emissions will all have problems at some point.

[@oldbearsden9819]

That tech is lying his behind off. You just blew the forced air line off. You have to reinstall it. They didn't tighten the clamps and it was a simple fix then upcharged you multiple times. The 6.4 diesel didn't have seal troubles it was a simple turbo swap and they suckered you. Stop buying the Ford, go buy a Ram or Chevy diesel. Both of them are almost bulletproof. One thing raise that truck up and and then set your torsion bars to get rid of that squat. You are putting the bars under no load before letting the trailer down.

[@nicholasjansen5601]

A Duramax is definitely not bulletproof. LBZ was the only good one really. Even a 6.0 is better than an LB7 or LLY.

[@jpippinator]

torsion bars? it's a super duty

[@richardbryant3100]

I currently have a 6.4 ford and before I bought it I read all the reviews and found most if not all problems were due to emissions. I have since deleted the emissions but still have them just in case and put a tuner on it and the truck runs great and pulls with no problem.

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

Perhaps this is what the previous owner was trying to do.

[@IronSharpensIron127]

We have had a 6.0 for over 4 years. We haven't had any issues. The first owner took good care and did great up keep on it. We drove it for over 3 years before we deleted egr and bulletproofed it. We did the bulletproof as a precaution. We haven't had any problems with it. We tow a 5th wheel and we drive a lot. It's at over 300 thousand miles. We have a dodge Cummins sitting on our land. The engine is great but the money we have had to put into the suspension is rediculous. We literally dropped 2 grand into it and it didn't drive for a month before it messed up again

[@camperatwill3951]

If I could give you guys a thousand thumbs up I would but one will have to do. I’ve had a Dodge Cummings and it was great. Zero problems towing my 41 foot fifth wheel. You have a great attitude and that’s more important than any old truck. God Bless and enjoy your journey.

My '17 dually GMC is a factory order so I could get the 6.0 gas, since most duallies on sales lots had the diesel. Didn't want diesel issues and expenses just to haul a 4500 lb. camper. Very satisfied with this engine. They have an excellent reputation.

Congrats on the new truck. She’s a beaut. Unfortunately through with a loaded 2500 Ram, you’re once again playing the numbers game with low payload. Safe travels guys.

[@christopherm1904]

You're absolutely right. If this family every upgrades to a heavier trailer or 5th wheel, a 3/4 ton, well option diesel truck is not a very good choice as it's extremely limited on payload. Just check the driver's side door jam placard. If this family doesn't ever want to go much bigger with their trailer, the RAM 2500 with the 6.4L Hemi would have been a great contender with plenty of available payload and much cheaper operating and repair costs. Also, I'm surprised they didn't option for a Megacab configuration. Much more room for everyone in the back seat.

[@glensworld2542]

Hey guys, love your videos and what a story! Man, I have fallen through big trapdoors in the past, and so I feel for you guys. Currently, we are looking at a new motorhome that has the 7.3L Ford gas engine -- now we are not so sure. Nevertheless, this video opened my eyes to RV warranties and how they aren't what they seem. Like you, I would never have thought about seals not being covered in the warranty. It's as if they knew that seals are a problem and left it out. However, congrats on the new Dodge truck and a warranty that actually covers seals! Thanks for sharing this story -- Godspeed!

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

Thank you! We've actually had great experiences with our RV Extended Warranty. And our previous truck warranty too! We just got suckered this time around. :( But now we know. And hopefully if anything else goes wrong, we will be covered this time.

[@dodgemayham2536]

This is such a shame that innocent unsuspecting people have to deal with issues like this. I apologize for all the hardships you and your family had to go through, this really angers me to see people treated like this.

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. We need more people like you out there taking care of people like us! :) We are happy with the Ram so far. :)

[@MidFiMan]

A 6.4L is worth every penny you put into it. With that being said, it's not for the faint at heart. The 6.4 has absolutely got some amazing weaknesses, but when they are addressed, it's a remarkable engine. I know what you're going through, I had a big learning curve too. The 6.4 is not for the faint at heart. Probably the worst place to get service is ironically a Ford dealership. By the way, my wife is a nurse director over ICU, ED, and float pool at a rural hospital here in eastern NC; we appreciate you guys.

Beware of the Bosch CP4 hi pressure fuel injection pump. Mine blew 2200 miles from home, thankfully it was covered under the FORD extended warranty that I purchased with the 2013 F-250 in 2018. Dodge used this pump also during your year also I believe. The dealer had it for 9 weeks, had to rent a car to get home for $1460, then fly back to Spokane 9 weeks later to pick it up. The fuel injection kit was on backorder, and the dealer said will have to wait until it comes in. I went to work and found that there were 518 on BO. My attitude was was that there had to be a kit somewhere. After about a dozen calls around the country I found one for the dealer and had them get it transferred from a dealer in Oregon. Half way home to KY in the middle of Iowa the heat tube from the turbo blew off, found a dealer 20 miles away and the reconnected it and was on my way the next day (the original dealer didn’t reattach it correctly). Investigate the Bosch CP4 Pump failures on Dodge diesels. I add Motorcraft (Ford product) lubricant to each tank full to help prevent this from happening again. If you want more info , let me know.

@@jansen7640 the 6.7 is definitely a lot better than the 6.0 or 6.4 no doubt. But when (not if) something does go wrong its also a lot more $$$ to fix vs. Gas.

[@rvvacation1862]

Just purchased a Forest River Georgetown GT 7 with the 7.3 V8 and so far so good. Ford is outfitting all F53 RV chassis with the "Godzilla” starting 2020. The engine is dyna tuned at 350 hp 460 ft/lb @ 3900 rpm. Even gooder we can burn regular unleaded gasoline. Just turned 5000 miles weighing in at 24,360🤫 pulling a 3800 lb 'toad' (4 down) we're seeing 8 mpg. Have not tried the big hills in the mountains yet but no problem with the foothills. Engine is quiet and backed with a 6 speed automatic. Shifting is smooth and engage the "tow haul" mode and engine braking, from the natural compression of a gasoline engine, is a dream. Why not a diesel pusher🤔 you might ask? Because I'm a retired truck driver in a 24000 lb motorcoach and no longer driving a 'big truck' pulling 80000. 🤭 GOOD STUFF... BIG TRUCKS BRING IT...10-4?

[@vegasfordguy]

I wouldn't consider a diesel and would definitely go for the 7.3 gasser.

[@burroughs74]

I did a lot of research before I bought a new truck. We also had an F-150 we used to pull our 36' travel trailer. Too much for the 1/2 ton truck. The cab removal on the Ford really killed the deal for me. I planned on keeping the new truck long term and though it is ridiculous to buy something that requires the removal of the cab to do major motor work when the time comes. We ended up buying a 2018 Ram 2500 and love it. We have since upgraded to a 42' fifth wheel and it pulls it great. They all have their ups and downs. In my opinion the Cummins is a more reliable engine. With any newer diesel getting rid of the emissions is key to long term reliably. Godspeed, hope everything works out for y'all.

[@skeg8145]

So sorry to hear of your problems I had issues with an extended warranty company also but putting post out on social media and Better Business Bureau made them come to the table and they ended up paying for everything good luck in your new Journey

I'm so glad they worked it out for you. :) We were able to get our full warranty refunded. That helped but did not obviously pay for the repair. Still, glad we got something.

[@yoster77]

I'm a Ford guy but I'll admit, way back when you first posted about selling the f150 and buying a 6.4 diesel, my heart was already breaking for you. Ford got killed by that deal with International - their new self-designed 6.7's are far, far superior and very reliable. It's just a shame for those that don't know this going into it. And not all 6.0/6.4's are bad either, but you clearly got one that must have had some major issues and covered up by the previous owner :( And those warranty companies.. Ohhh man I got bit by the SAME exact thing!!! I was dumbfounded!! What's the point of buying a, as they even called it, "Peace of mind platinum warranty" if it doesn't give me, well, peace of mind!

[@Stuckin4low]

I agree, not all are bad. I owned two different 6.0's (stock) and never had any issues. 6.7's are solid, i own a 2018. The Dodge is good truck too. Just keep up with maintenance!

I'm so sorry you had these problems. The only thing you did wrong was buy a warranty. I only ever bought one one time and was disappointed. They are nothing more than ways to get people to part with more $$$. I haven't bought an auto warranty in 20 years and will never. Take that $$ and put it in a fund to pay for the unexpected repairs if/when they come up. If you're within your grace period, you may want to consider cancelling it. Good luck! For what it's worth we bought a RAM 1500 HEMI used for our first truck and have loved it. Rock solid. Hope you have the same good luck! I hear only good things about those cummins diesels.

Learned myself, the hard way, that warranty companies are like all others. They are in it to make a profit. They will deny any claim they possibly can. I’ll not ever get another “extended warranty”. Put that payment into a savings account and keep it for yourself. Beautiful RAM truck. If it has the AISIN, no worries. If it has the 68RFE, don’t tune it. If you leave it stock, it will last forever. The 68 is a much smoother driving transmission. The AISIN is a bit more robust, and is only offered on the high output trucks.

The problem with ram is the truck is terrible but the engine is good

[@n2sport1]

@@nativeoutdoors1780 Had an 03 and a 2020 ram 2500 cummins. The only thing that gave me issues was my own fault. Tuned Engine killed the original trans after 75k (my fault). Built the trans with goerend parts to handle way more than I was putting out and loved it, towed better than my 2020... Ball joints, yea large 35" tires on a RAM will do that. Rust they all do it if you don't do something to protect the fenders.

I bought an 05 6.0 F250 in 08. Drove it for many years...but it was EXPENSIVE! 2013 the trans needed rebuilt, so I decided to go with billet components to the tune of $6k, after all I’m going to keep this truck forever🤣 2014 the truck overheated and needed head gaskets done again. The truck was deleted and studded and still needed head gaskets. As soon as that happened I bought an older 7.3 truck and haven’t looked back. The 7.3 is louder and slower, but reliable! The last two repairs on the truck were $11k and that was enough for me🤣 Best of luck to you all in your travels👍

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

Oh man - repairs are a headache no matter what kind of engine. Just happy to be on the road again. Thanks for watching.

I have a 2010 f250 6.4 and it is deleted egr and dpf and tow a 10,000 lb camper it has 158,000 miles and tuned and have no problem towing up a 45%grade hill

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

Haha, yes Preston I heard that doing all those things is the key. Once they're done the engine is super solid and will go for a very long time. The problem is: while it does make the truck solid it's not legal in all states and as much as we travel I don't want to worry about it.

I have a couple of friends that own the 6.7 Cummins 2014 to be exact. Both have replaced their turbos at over $5,000. So expect that. Some of the six seven like to eat turbos. Wishing you the best

[@gregorylipkin2808]

I bought a Ford F-350 with the 6.0 diesel. I’ve had good luck with it pulling my 38 fr 5th wheel. I did however invest in having it bullet proofed in Phoenix along with an edge cts3 gauge. Sorry to hear your troubles with your old ford. I have done zero tuning and left stock except for the bullet proof.

I'm a licensed HD mech with 45 years exp and I have a 6.4 I bought with 52,000 miles on it I got rid of the DPF and EGR at 87,000 and all is well, I do baby it even that we haul a 12,000 5 the wheel in BC Canada, I have my fingers crossed at 120,000

[@fbeaston]

Feel sorry for you guys. Things will get better

[@jaredhalvorson3532]

"take care of it, and it will take care of you" but more importantly do your research, and know what you're getting into. Personally, I own a 6.0 and after you take care of the issues there're amazing trucks.

[@bobmc7134]

You should post the name of the dealership , that performed the work on your engine. I am a long time mechanic and the things you pointed out as being loose and disconnected were not related to the new turbo blowing them off, that was bs . Whoever worked on your engine did not do the job that you paid for, regardless of how good or bad the 6.4 is. I love camping and try to stay positive about all the problems that occur while doing it, because it is my place of enjoyment. I'm glad you guys try to do the same, I enjoy your channel and attitude as well. Take care Bob I see you did get a deal from that dealership, which is what they should have done under the circumstances. Good luck with the Ram ,I've had two with no issues and currently own a 2020 1/2 ton ,great truck.

[@chuckychuck]

[@billramsey8695]

No need for me to say I told you so, it breaks my heart to see you guys going through that crap. I have been there and done that. It seems like when it rains it pours. Thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Hang in there it's going to get better. I have two power strokes. But they are the 7.3s I never want an 08 or newer with a 6.4. Best thing to do is swap it for a Cummins. No joke. Bring things work out for you guys. Stay safe and God bless. It's going to get better

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

Thank you! :) Things are already looking up.

[@jeffc6268]

What a shame, we had a 6.4 for 9 years with no issues. It was a great tow vehicle for our camper.

[@markbergthold6181]

This is the main reason we buy new - no guarantees but better odds. I’ve towed a 40’ Weekend Warrior 5th toyhauler w/an ‘04 Silverado 2500HD Dura/Allison (bagged, Hellwigs, Bilsteins). Currently ‘20 F150 4x w/bags, Hellwigs, Bilsteins towing a 22’ Nash using a Hensley Arrow (absolutely no sway). Hope the Dodge works well for you, quite a diff platform than your original F150!

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

We would have liked to but it was cost prohibitive. When we started our journey two and half years ago we were debt free (besides student loans). No payments on anything so jumping to a new truck with the payment would have been a huge change. In the end, with the extra money we sunk into the whole situation it would have been better to suck it up and take the crazy big payment back in Mar when we were ready to upgrade the F150. We just didn't want the huge payment. Now we have the huge payment anyway and it isn't even brand new. Gah! Hind sight is always 20/20

[@kenfarris8069]

When you buy a 6.4 powerstroke, you buy instant $10,000 in repairs.

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

Sadly lesson learned

[@wierpkevin]

How rough, glad you guys got it done.

[@mikeritchie2189]

I seen a more recent video with the new Chevy you got. Awesome truck. I have a older Chevy 2004 with the 8.1 liter gas engine with the Allison transmission and love it. I’m the third owner and minor issues for the age. I have always stuck with GM.

That stinks. Impressed with your calmness. Our family business has an 05 Ford F-350 with 60k miles on it. It was a delivery truck. It cost us $19k before we traded for a 2018 Ram 3500. So far very happy. Cummins is a perfected engine. Good luck with your Dodge.

[@walterrusty65]

I’ve owned two Ram’s you’ll love them , but the motorhome we bought is a Ford E350, V10 which has driven very nice twice to Florida from California, I had issues with a ford van in the early 1990’s and ford wouldn’t back a brand new vehicle, so I’m gritting my teeth with this new purchase until I find a class c on a ram chassis. Blessings and prayer 🙏🏽 to your family , your an inspiration in the way you handled this , Godspeed in your journey

[@SLICKW1993]

Dynamax has a Class C on the RAM chassis with the Cummins.

[@Klusk91]

I owned a 6.4 several years ago, bought it used with only 40k miles and did an extended warranty. Almost immediately after getting home from the dealer in another state an engine light goes off. During the drive I lost all my coolant and broke the oil cooler. Luckily the warranty actually covered all the repairs after many hours of arguing with the dealer. Traded out of that truck to a 6.7 power stroke soon as I could.

[@michaelprosperity3420]

Great attitude guys. Thank God you have a sense of humor. I learned a ton from the comments section. Was thinking about purchasing a Ford having driven my Dodge since new in 2002. I'll stick with my Ram.

Yes! Stick with Ram! We are loving ours so far. Thanks so much for watching.

[@CraigS41]

I had a 2008 F250 with the 6.4. First thing to let go was the EGR plugged up and that plugged up the DPF, and Cat. 6400.00 Next was the high pressure fuel pump (Which they have to take the cab off the frame to get to it. I was quoted 12,000.00 for that. Ran it for a year changing the fuel filter with every oil change. Had a seal let go and fuel was getting into the oil and somehow took out #3. The quote then was 21,000.00 I sold it as is for 5,500.00 ad bought a 2019 Ram Big Horn with the 5.7 Hemi. LOVE the truck. Better mileage, quieter, better ride, and MORE bells and whistles.

[@Christri]

A seal is part of those systems, that makes no sense that they wouldnt pay other than they knew they could get away with it.

[@Stuckin4low]

Because extended warranties from used car dealers are crap!!

[@TomLentz]

Agreed. Every mechanical system on a car has a seal or gasket of some sort, which gives them an out.

[@tomhawkins8775]

Sorry to hear about all the truck trouble. Although I'm a Ford person. I don't brand bash. I noticed a clean exhaust pipe on the Ford which besides egr coolers still being on truck. The tune wasn't a emissions delete. Too much heat from extra fuel and boost for the emissions system on the 6.4. while had no problems with mine I also did emissions delete. I traded mine in 11 months ago for 2019 f250 gas. To get lower cost of ownership. And more cargo capacity. Three quarter ton Diesel's have crap cargo capacity. Good luck with the new truck. And we are waiting for next video. We'll be in pigeon forge first part of September. Impatiently waiting for that time to get here.

[@jeffalbert2016]

I mean no disrespect but idk who in the right mind made you think a 6.4 superduty was the way to go, also I guess the ram will be better just get ready for the transmission to go out next month but I'm very happy to see you guys back on the road again 👍

Bulletproof 6.0. is way better that anything else on cost per mile driven. Go to Georgia and get one from Bill Hewitt.

[@jcapen1]

I feel your pain.. I have a 6.4 my engine failed while pulling my trailer for a camping trip. It is such a hard choice to make between repair and replace. I ended up having a new engine put in it and did the full delete and tune with several other preventive measures taken. It's been about a year and the truck has been fine but I still don't trust it. If you have peace of mind than you made a good choice with the Dodge.

[@WilliamStewart1]

Just sell it and get any of the newer engines, both 6.7's and the 6.6 are vastly superior to a 6.4 of you want a new truck. Ideally of you don't need to pull 20,000lbs plus get an older truck. The 7.3 Powerstroke and 12 valve cummins are the best in the business for going 500k plus miles with literally nothing.

[@jcapen1]

@@WilliamStewart1 You're not wrong Will. My deleted 6.4 is still running great and I'm kinda married to it. I have about 20k into the rebuilt motor and the truck itself is pristine. If it fails again I may go with the 7.3 gasser. I tow about 12k at the most. I would prefer a 7.3 PS but they are getting harder to find. A friend is considering an 01 for 32k with 98,000 miles. That kind of price for a 20 plus year old truck is insane. Nothing is easy anymore.

[@ronh9384]

Man I feel you guys pain and am so sorry you went through this! I have this same exact truck with almost 300,000 miles on it. Same color and trim level, same engine and I have had zero issues with it. I have been changing fluids, tires, etc and zero issues. I also have another F-350 with a 6.7 and have put about 228,000 miles on it with zero issues. It is also the same color as your truck. My daughter and son and their spouses borrow that truck from us and follow us in that truck and trailer and it has had zero issues. My other daughter and son-in-law bought a Dodge 1 ton and have had several issues with it so far but nothing like what you guys have had. 😧 I’m thinking of trading the truck with 300,000 miles on it in for a new 2021 truck. May wait a little while to see how they turn out. Good luck! I always buy new with Fords extended warranty and have yet to use the warranty. I guess we have been lucky. Good luck and hope you guys get the dealer and warranty company by the ears and straighten them out!!! Got to hit the hay and be on the road by 5:30 a.m.this morning. Safe travels and I hope the universe smooths out for you folks. You folks have been through enough!!! Ron
